Goals Learning Goal: Understand the ways that the hues of the color wheel are related to value and saturation… and to create a monochrome painting in the style of Georg Baselitz and Egon Schele that includes the tints, shades, and various saturations of a single hue. For the quiz, you will: • Sketch and label the diagram on the right known as the “Munsell Color Tree, ” and define its key terms. • Mix paint to create tints, shades, and desaturated of a single hue.

Questions for the Quiz • • Where are the “hues” found on Munsell’s Color Tree? The term “value” is interchangeable with what other two terms? Where can the values be found on Munsell’s Color Tree? What are tints and shades? The term “saturation” is interchangeable with what other two terms? How can you define “saturation”? “desaturation”? Where are desaturated colors found on Munsell’s Color Tree?

Munsell Color Tree The Munsell Color Tree is a diagram created by Albert H.

Munsell Color Tree The Munsell Color Tree is a diagram created by Albert H. Munsell about a hundred years ago to demonstrate the interrelationship* between three different properties of color, two of which we have already studied, and one more that we learn in this lesson: • Hue • Value, and • Saturation. Hues are the colors of the rainbow. On Munsell’s Color tree, they can be found at the TIPS of the branches, where you might find the leaves of a tree. Value is also called tone and grayscale. These colors run up and down the TRUNK of the tree. Saturation is also called intensity and in this diagram, chroma. All three terms mean the same thing. Saturation refers to the purity of a color measured by how much of its complement has been added to it. The saturation scale for each hue can be seen on Munsell’s color tree in the BRANCHES that extend out from the trunk to the tips of the branches. The closer to the tips, the more intense the color; the closer to the trunk, the more desaturated the color. *The word “interrelationship” means “the way in which two or more things are related to each other. ” Munsell Color Tree

Review: The color wheel is a diagram that represents the hues, or colors of the rainbow. This spectrum is turned into a circle so that red meets up with violet. On Munsell’s Color tree, the hues can be found at the TIPS of the branches, where you might find the leaves of a tree. Munsell Color Tree On Munsell’s tree (and Newton’s wheel), what is the complement of red?

Review: the range of colors from white to gray to black has traditionally been referred to as a value scale or tonal scale. More recently, with the advent of the computer, the term grayscale has become more common. All three are interchangeable. Munsell Color Tree

Munsell recognized that values (white-gray-black) were related to tints and shades, and that they

Munsell recognized that values (white-gray-black) were related to tints and shades, and that they could be combined in a single diagram. White added to a hue is called a tint. (Pink is a tint of red. ) Black added to a hue is called a shade. (Maroon is a shade of red. )

The Munsell Color Tree is NOT symmetrical. Since the yellow branch on Munsell’s color

The Munsell Color Tree is NOT symmetrical. Since the yellow branch on Munsell’s color tree has more high value colors, it reaches upward. The purple branch has more low values and reaches downward.

Each hue tends to be associated with a certain value. For example, yellow tends

Each hue tends to be associated with a certain value. For example, yellow tends to have a naturally high value, and painters can mix a wide range of yellow colors that correspond to light gray on the grayscale. Purple and blue tend to have a lower values, and painters can mix a wide range of purple colors that correspond to dark gray on the grayscale. (These are the branches on Musell’s tree. )

Monochromatic schemes include variations on a single hue. The hue might vary by value

Monochromatic schemes include variations on a single hue. The hue might vary by value and/or saturation. Ad Reinhardt, Painting, 1954
